How to Handle, Prevent, and Even Remove Negative Online Reviews

In this episode of Straight Talk!, learn how to deal with, sometimes remove, and ultimately avoid negative online reviews.

The hard truth in this modern age of technology is that consumers take online reviews seriously. In fact, a 2022 report by local SEO provider Bright Local found that 98% of the consumers surveyed read online reviews about businesses before contacting them. Almost 50% said they trusted online reviews just as much as personal recommendations. (Check out Polish Your Online Presence to learn more about the importance of online reviews.)

But when you open your business to online reviews, you must take the bad along with the good. How should you combat negative reviews—particularly fake reviews—that could potentially chase customers away?

Mercado understands the impact of online reviews, especially on sites like Google, Yelp, and social media platforms. In the interview, he shared valuable tips on how to effectively manage, prevent, and even remove negative reviews to keep your business reputation intact.
